Patient's question:
Irregular menstruation, sometimes coming once every two months, sometimes once a year. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found to be an ovarian cyst. What should I do if I have an ovarian cyst and no menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation, occurring every two months or once a year, does not necessarily indicate an ovarian cyst. In specific cases, you can take progesterone to induce menstruation, and then visit the hospital on the third day of your period to have your hormone levels checked carefully. Since most menstrual disorders are caused by hormonal imbalances, if estrogen levels are low, testosterone levels are high, or luteinizing hormone is more than three times higher than follicle-stimulating hormone, this suggests polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which can interfere with menstruation and fertility.
